Depression Support Group

Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

I sure am in the company of good people! I guess I look at depression, anxiety, etc. as just mixed up emotions more than I see it as mental illness. Just me looking through those rose colored glasses again. :-)

This might be an oxymoron: Maybe the only ones that do not have a mental illness a psychotic that does not have any touch to hers or his feelings. How can anyone look and experience the horrors of this world and not be moved: moved to great sadness, great feeling helpless, great anger to where it effects hers or his daily going ons. Geniuses have acute senses you know feel things deeply. I have gotten in trouble in other support sites, when I say that having mental illness does not have to hold one bad. I have no use for labels, as: &quot;I am a social anxious person so I cannot socialize.&quot; What a trap. Well, I am borderline personality persons. However, with lots of awesome help and self-help I have overcome 90% of the disorder. Can't pooh. It is just a matter of being sick and tired with being sick and tired enough to spark a genuine will to change with lots of awesome help.

They say being a genius is one step away from being insane. All of these 'famous' people are in the creative arts, entertainment field, or the polical agenda. Maybe it takes being insane to become famous? Whatever. I just know that these people made great contributions to society, and I would be proud to add my name to that list if I could accomplish something! At the age of 9 Albert Einstein was still not fluid in language and his parents thought that he was retarded. You can google some of these names and some web sites will tell you what each suffered from.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
